  Managing Stress in the Workplace


Explore the concept of stress and learn practical strategies to minimise its effects. We will explore the types of workplace stressors commonly experienced and the effects these can have on your personal health and the health of your workplace

Together, we will explore a range of strategies to add to your toolkit – including ways to problem-solve identified stressors and enhance your coping skills and resources in order to minimise the effects of stress on your personal health and wellbeing.

This workshop will look at:

  • six core factors associated with stress at work
  • the relationship between stress and individual performance
  • three core strategies to address external stressors
  • proactive and preventative strategies to minimise the impacts of stress
  • coping strategies to enhance your resilience to stress
